THE TRAILS

If we talk about unconquered states, you have successfully formed governments in Assam and Manipur, and now BJP has set its eyes upon other eastern states. You are also campaigning in Odisha, what are the issues you are going to project for the upcoming polls in the state?

The incumbent Naveen Patnaikji’s BJD government has failed to provide

On one hand, you are fighting with Biju Janata Dal in Odisha; at the same time the party chief and Chief Minister of the state has extended his support to the BJP on several issues of significance at the centre. Isn’t there a contradiction for you as you balance both central and state politics?

Not only BJD, many regional parties have supported us on many issues at the centre despite our political differences - only for the sake of the country. We welcome this.

When we are talking about Narendra Modi’s successful governance, we must talk about Kashmir. People have great hope from him regarding the ongoing Kashmir unrest. Even after one year of Burhanwani’s killing, the valley is burning. How long will it take to restore normalcy in our paradise?

Since, 1989 there have been many disturbing incidents that have been reported from the Kashmir Valley. This has proved that nobody could control the situation there in the past.. However, this time our security forces have been working hard to control the ground reality, and they have done a good job. I believe that, very soon the situation in the valley will be under control.

Is your party satisfied with Meh-

To speak of the recent and upcoming events in India, there is talk about historical tax reformation by this NDA government. Do you feel that after demonetisation, the move to roll out GST will also hold political significance for BJP?

Indeed! People have accepted the ‘One Nation, One Tax’ system with happiness, whether an industrialist, or the common man, whether a big supplier or a small trader, everyone has wholeheartedly supported GST. They are also receiving benefits from this move. Moving aside all wrong information regarding the new tax regime, it will indeed show India a new way.

When we talk about the upcoming Presidential polls, oppositions allege the incumbent NDA for playing the caste card, as their candidate Meira Kumar talks about an ideological war. How do you see it?

We have filed Ram Nath Kovind’s

In your view what are the highlights of three year rule of Modi Government at the centre?

First of all, Modi government has changed the scale of governance; we are doing what no one even thought of in 70 years, such as giving LPG to 5 crore poor women, constructing 4 crore toilets, electrifying 14000 villages, linking poor with country’s economy by opening Jandhan accounts and opening new employment opportunity for crores through Mudra etc.

Modi government has launched more than 100 programs for the poor, middle class, farmers, youth, and business community. There is not a single case of corruption against the Modi government while corrupt are running for cover. We are the fastest growing economy of the world and we have ensured that both agriculture and industrial growth turn to positive. Still we have a long way to go but the way PM Modi is working and getting support from the people of India, our dream of Sashakt and Samriddh Bharat is not very far.
